Full URL ?

Using a pair user/image_id is shorter, avoid the many variant of the URL (see below).

Better? it could be the (shortened Base58) image id:

Should the "Flickr id" should accept albums and sets ?

Examples:


For albums and sets I doubt, but for users, I'm sure it shouldn't.
And also for sure we shouldn't accept full URLs as it's a duplicate of {key|image} tag.
IMHO we can restrict to images as from an image we can find the galery and the user: we should pick up the best image for OSM. Not subjective at all^^. --Nospam2005 (talk) 19:41, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
With the "shorter" forms, it link only to one image
--Pyrog (talk) 20:31, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
Not really, it shows one image but in the context of a galery: see the thumbs below the image. And based on the ID you can probably construct other URLs like by adding /in/photostream/lightbox/ at the end that suites the needs of the app (like resizing the image).
Shorter, more coherent, less error prone, more flexible. --Nospam2005 (talk) 20:21, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
Right, not a link to one image, but one photopage :-)
> And based on the ID you can probably construct other URLs
Yes, like URL of the image file itself in desired size (see API).
